Fo Years Past
L88 Than Five Per Cent .
Usual Number of Fur Ani- ,
maU Being Caught for
Pelts, Officials Say.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 17. Less than
5 per cent he usual number of fur
bearing animals in Nebraska are be
ing trapped (or their pelts this' year,
according to buyers and state pame
officials, Fewer pelts are available
this year than in history, buyers re
port. It is not that there is a no
ticeable scarcity of animals, but be
cause hunters refuse to trap and sell
pelts at present prices.
Pelts of all -fur bearing animal
are netting trappers less money than
in years. Muskrat pelfs last year
hrrmcht traorffcrs from S3 to $5.25.
This year he quotation is from 25
to 50 cents. lhe exceptionally nne
pelt, buyers say, will bring $1.
Almk, raccoon, opossum, puer ana
skunk nelts also are low in price,
and very few trappers are reported
to be searching tor animals.
v Coon Pelt Prop,
Buyers are paying from $2 to $7
for coon pelts this year. A year ago
just an ordinary coon pelt brought
trappers So, and hue specimen! twice
that sum: - "
The trapping season in Nebraska
is nearly half over, It began No
vember 1 and continues until Feb
ruary 15. In previous years the sea
son continueq untU Maren tu,
Charles N. CadwMlader, head of a
local fur buying company, says his
company last year handled more
than 75,000 muskrat pelts. "W" do '
not expect to handle more than 10
per cent of that number this year," he
said. 1 rappers tell Mr. vaowaiiader,
they can make more money husking
corn this year. i L
Won't Reduce Prices.
Mr. CaJawalkr is of the opinion
that present low prjees of rw furs
will not bring about a reduction in
finished articles. "The shortage of
pelts on the fur markets." he said,
"will keep thep rice of tqe finished
articles up to present quotations."
In the nortVwest section pf Ne
braska in the lake region, fur bear
ing animals, especially muskrat and
mink; are said to be as numerous as
usual this year. Low prices, hpw-
ever, have discouraged trappers go
ing after them.
Another thing 4hat has dis
couraged trappers this year is that
they are compelled to take out state
licenses, costing $2, before they can
trap. This ii the first year the trap
ping license law has been rigidly en
forced. Employers Challenge ,
To Labor Is Accepted
By Federation Chief
New York; Ded 17.-Samuel
fjompers, president of the American .
Federation of Labor, in an address
here last night accepted the chal

"seek to destroy labor unions" and
negative the principles established
by unionism. '
"American Jabor accepts the chat- -leage
of tbe employers and will not
be driven .ack fronvits advantages," i
he declared. ''Let those who ar
opposing nr movement beware.
Those who are working for pur de
struction beware."
' One of the first acts of the newly
organized labor body was the adop
tion, of resolutions calling upon
President Wilson and tlje State de
partment to protest! against the
British, atrocities in Ireland" and
